Sweetheart Sunrise!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I thought I would share a quick simple cocktail for dinner tonight that you only need a few ingredients to make. I also wanted to make a drink that could easily be turned into a mocktail for the kiddos. They love fun festive drinks too. My boys had fun coming up with a name for this drink. Jonah came up with "Stupid Cupid's Super Cool Drink" and Ben thought of "Cupid's Crazy Concoction". As you may have guessed, this drink is a variation of a Tequila Sunrise.

All you need is pink lemonade, grenadine, vodka (I used a lemon infused one I had made) and some strawberries for garnish.

In each glass I poured 6 oz. of pink lemonade, 2 oz. vodka, and a few ice cubes. Of course I left out the vodka for the kids! I garnished each glass with a strawberry. When they were all prepped and ready, I called the kids to to the table for the final step. When everyone was gathered I poured about 1/8 of a cup of grenadine into each glass without stirring. The grenadine is heavier so it sinks to the bottom, "magically" making two separate layers! So pretty and fun!

About Us

We are Rebecca, Maggie, & Jill - busy women just like you who run after our active kids, try to clean the house once in a while, and manage to throw dinner together (even if it's just a bag of frozen chicken nuggets). But when we get the chance, we enjoy a good project. Something that entertains the kids, saves us a little money, is good for the earth, and even makes us feel pretty. And we want to share these ideas with you!
Enjoy!
